Constraining the Milky Way Halo Shape Using Thin Streams
Tidal streams are a powerful probe of the Milky Way (MW) potential shape. In this paper, we introduce a simple test-particle method to fit stream data, using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique to marginalize over uncertainties in the progenitor’s orbit and the MW halo shape parameters. Applying it to mock data of thin streams in the MW halo, we show that, even for very cold streams, streamorb...
متن کاملMasses for the Local Group and the Milky Way
We use the very large Millennium Simulation of the concordance ΛCDM cosmogony to calibrate the bias and error distribution of Timing Argument estimators of the masses of the Local Group and of the Milky Way. From a large number of isolated spiral-spiral pairs similar to the Milky Way/Andromeda system, we find the interquartile range of the ratio of timing mass to true mass to be a factor of 1.8...
متن کاملConstraining the extra heating of the Diffuse Ionized Gas in the Milky Way
The detailed observations of the diffuse ionized gas through the emission lines Hα, [NII], and [SII] in the Perseus Arm of our Galaxy by the Wisconsin Hα Mapper (WHAM)–survey challenge photoionization models. They have to explain the observed rise in the line ratios [NII]/Hα and [SII]/Hα. The models described here consider for the first time the detailed observational geometry toward the Perseu...
متن کاملAntimatter in the Milky Way
Observational signatures of existence of antimatter objects in the Galaxy are discussed. We focus on point-like sources of gamma radiation, diffuse galactic gamma ray background and anti-nuclei in cosmic rays.
متن کاملMilky Way
7 Globular clusters and Population II stars are fossil remnants of the first major epoch of star formation in the Milky Way. SIM Lite will determine precise distances to selected Pop II objects to define a reliable distance scale, and establish reliable absolute and relative ages. Those ages set a minimum age for the Universe and map the early formation history of the Milky Way. The resultant a...
